A Study of Dynamic Responses of E. coli Metabolism Upon Large Perturbations Using Large-Scale Kinetic Models

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Georgios Fengos, Milenko Tokic

In recent years, constraint-based approaches have been widely used for analyzing cellular metabolism. These approaches use stoichiometric models for the characterization of the intracellular fluxes at steady state. Nonetheless, the stoichiometric models la ...

Thermodynamic Analysis of the Transition Between Slug and Annular Flow in Minichannels

Heat transfer mechanism during flow boiling of fluids in small channels differs significantly depending on whether two-phase flow is in slug or annular regime. Understanding of the transition conditions between homogeneous slug flow and annular two-phase f ...

Hydroacoustic Modeling of a Cavitation Vortex Rope for a Francis Turbine

Christian Landry

Hydraulic machines subject to off-design operation involve the presence of cavitating flow regimes in the draft tube. The cavitation vortex rope at part load conditions is described as an excitation source for the hydraulic system, and interactions between ...

Surface Reactions are Crucial for Energy Storage

Philippe Mauron, Shunsuke Kato, Elsa Callini

Reactions between gas molecules, e.g. H-2 and CO2 and solids take place at the surface. The electronic states and the local geometry of the atomic arrangement determine the energy of the adsorbate, i.e. the initial molecule and the transition state. Here w ...

Fine-particle water and pH in the southeastern United States

Athanasios Nenes, Hairun Guo

Particle water and pH are predicted using meteorological observations (relative humidity (RH), temperature (T)), gas/particle composition, and thermodynamic modeling (ISORROPIA-II). A comprehensive uncertainty analysis is included, and the model is validat ...

Precipitation in the high strength AA7449 aluminium alloy

Patrick Schloth

Al-Zn-Mg(-Cu) (AA7xxx) alloys are widely used structural materials owing to their excellent mechanical properties and low corrosion susceptibility. The high strength of these materials is obtained by the formation of secondary phases, e.g. precipitation. T ...

Impact of water activity on the mineralogy of hydrated cement

Luis Guillermo Baquerizo Ibarra

Cement hydrates and their chemically bound water content are sensitive to changes in relative humidity (RH) and temperature. This may cause specific solid volume changes affecting dimensional properties of hydrated cement paste such as shrinkage, swelling ...
